It might have been because Rickshaw was spacious and I had the ability to walk around without bumping into anyone or the fact that all 51" of me got to stand on a table so I could get an unobstructed view of the headliner (something Im not used to at all), but Im a fan of this place! Its got a backyard patio feel to it with the lights hung on the ceiling and an upstairs balcony with adequate seating if you dont want to deal with the mosh pit that downstairs will eventually become. My only gripe about it was that it got very stuffy and hazey. But I guess thats to be expected when everyones jumping up and down, dancing. Overall, a good time!

Went and saw Graffiti6 here. Unreal ! Was shocked at small and itimate this place was . The sound system was amazing . I would compare the sound quality to that of the old I-Beam (for those too young, this was the greatest live venue in SF sadly closed now. With fantastic sound) Saw some other comments on the bartenders. Yeah they had an attitude , but big deal, bartenders have always been prima donnas. (you try dealing with drunks and being on your feet for 7 hours straight) Door crew and rest of staff super friendly. Nice to see this kinda place back in the city. I will for sure go back

This place is crazy. If its your scene, Im sure youll love it. We always seem to end up here on 18+ nights and teens are just too much. Ive literally seen people having sex while dancing in the middle of the crowd and while thats impressive, I dont want to see it. Most people here dance around in their underwear or less, and again thats fine if youre into it, but it wasnt what I was expecting. I just want future patrons to have a heads up about what they might experience here.

Popscenes (thrusday night parties at Rickshaw Stop) are some of the best parties in town to discover new and upcoming music. Hosted by Aaron Axelson of Live105 and full of young hipsters looking for an affordable party. Tickets usually cost 12-15 bucks and drinks aint too bad for SF. Venue is small but intimate. Muse had their first SF show at this venue and ive seen countless SF debuts over the years. 18 and over. Pleanty of parking in the area at night.

I saw a band here and the place was packed even though it was Tuesday. This place is small and bare bones but the bartenders are NICE and even the bouncers are NICE. I dont know if this is normal for San Francisco because I am used to Vancouver bars where the staff are complete douches. They also had decent food which is unusual for a bar.

Came here for a Dustin OHalloran concert. Great, intimate venue for performances quiet and loud alike. They have a nice balcony which can seat <20 people, so get there early if thats your thing. Walking distance to Hayes Valley bars/restaurants. I went with my wife to Sugar Bar before the show for a quick drink, just for a change of scenery.

This review is for the Cockblock event on 2nd Saturdays This place is fun until it becomes makeout session after 1am. By that time, I am ready to go. * Also, watch out for slippery floors. It seems to be a common thing to drop your drinks on the dance floor, especially in the MIDDLE of the dance floor. Avoid wearing open-toed shoes.

Went to a show two nights ago (The Knocks) and really liked the venue. Its has a really nice size for semi-popular bands and artists that dont attract the huge masses. There is a balcony area which is open to anyone (at least this was the case at the concert I went to). Would love to see another show there.

Ive been to "Nerd Nite" a few times and had a great time. It would be nice if they put out more chairs during such shows. There doesnt seem to be any reason not to have a few more to prevent forcing people to sit on the floor. Otherwise a great venue. Looking forward to checking out music shows as well.

The bar area takes quite a bit of time to get a drink, the venue is pretty small. Its best to come early so that you have a good spot somewhere in the front if youre like me. Other than that, this venue is quite small, the sound is amazing, and theres a meet and greet after shows.

Paola Hurtado

One of my top five venues to catch a live show. Plus, Aaron Axelsen spins here all the time so its also a great place for (alternative, electronic, indie) dancing. People are cool, theres never drama, and no one is ever looking you up and down or judging your outfit.

Super cute and cozy venue that frequently feature independent artists. The bar has great pricing. The line can get so long some days as there is only one person doing the check-ins. You may get a rude person working the ticket booth on certain days, as well.

I saw Shiny Toy Guns here. I liked being able to sit down up in the balcony to watch the opening bands. My only beef with the venue is making people stand out in the rain with a fairly inefficient door process, otherwise, this is a great place to see a show!

This place had such interesting ambiance. The circus theme was one of a kind and the service was amazing. They changed tables for us and were alway pleasant. Plates were a little small but delicious and gourmet. A def go on a weekday night.

Katie Higgins

Great venue with always great up and coming acts. Its also cheap... I dont think Ive paid more than $25 for a concert ticket. Drinks are cheap is well. Good in n out policy as well. Popscene nights are the best time to come to this venue.

Amber Marie

sort of funky layout but they usually have great bands on the bill that are sort of on the fringe of success. Not the best view from upstairs but they do have skee-ball and a foosball table if you are not quite feeling the opening acts.

Great venue with fun special events. The venue has a stage, main floor area, a bar and bathrooms on the first floor. There is also a second floor with another bar and coat check area, along with a balcony overlooking the first floor .

Scott Zawalski

Good size venue with a chill upstairs that has coaches and seats if you dont feel like standing downstairs. I prefer this stage to the Hemlocks but I wouldnt come here to just hang out where as the with the Hemlock I definitely would.

Van Jackson-Weaver

Great small venue in San Francisco. The good sound system and competent sound techs here make for a high quality live music experience. The drink prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. Great place, go see a show here!

Vijay Singh

A great, small intimate space that tends to have a good crowd lacking pretension (something unusual for venues these days). Drinks are well priced, lineups tend to be good, and everyone seems to have a good time when there.

Between Nerd Nite and live music, Ive been at Rickshaw quite a bit lately. Its a great little place, awesome for live music, good (strong) drinks, and sometimes pop-up food options upstairs.

Avery Krieger

Up close and personal venue without a lot of clutter. Place could be cleaner, but Ill blame the crowd on the night of my concert for that. Decently priced drinks with interesting specials
